What film do you use that it looks like this, and where do you live that people dress like this? :-) However...I was intrigued by Adam's comment about the images being familiar to him, and reminded of him of growing up in the 50s - I have long thought that photographs from the 30s to the early 60s have a very similar look, which is to say that clothing, cars, etc., were quite similar. If I think back to the late 50s, or look at photos from that era, particularly pictures of kids, the photos could have been taken pretty much any time during the almost 30 previous years. The big break in terms of clothing and general "look" came in the mid-60s,and if you look at photos from the late 60s, early 70s, and compare them to photos from even five, six or seven years earlier, it's almost like you're looking at something from another century.

Colour makes them look far more immediate and real, almost as if the scenes depicted were happening now. By contrast, monochrome looks much more harmlessly abstract, "artistic" and consequently much less threatening. All this is IMO, YMMV etc. :?)
